"MTG X FF: Where is Final Fantasy 8?"

So I watched that mtg podcast where the panel was basically outgushing each other about how they love Final Fantasy and how their will be something for everyone.

And guess what there were cards from FF1 and they even mentioned FF16. Fan favorites from all over. All except from the time I really got into this game series. The glaring omission of anything from FF8 rakes me up a bit. 

Granted that this is the initial salvo for FF x MTG teasers and the product probably has more teasers before it’s eventual June 13, 2025 release date but just glossing over FF8 still bothers me somewhat.

I knew that there was some ill feelings toward this particular part of the game from the junction system to the more mature themes so and so but even now is it still that hated? 

That is why no one should speak in absolutes. For people who say they love all of the series equally the omission speaks volumes.
